Good.
The more Congress refuses to follow in his communist footsteps the angrier he’ll get. And the angrier he gets the more likelihood he’ll do and say things that he’ll regret. And the more he says words he regrets, the sooner he implodes into a puddle of Kenyan black wastewater.
Google “black wastewater” and you’ll understand. [Trolls and 0bots, I already have an FBI/CIA file and am not afraid.]
